Sonderausstellung Karl V

Kunsthistorisches Museum, Sonderausstellung Karl V, Wien: Kunsthistorisches Museum, 1958.

Aus dem Vorwort:

Einen Anlaß dieser Art bot der vierhundertste Todestag Kaiser Karls V., den die Wiener Universität heuer durch eine Gedenkwoche begeht, bei der auch spanische Historiker das Wort ergreifen werden. Ungeachtet der auf den ersten Blick nicht allzu dichten Beziehungen Karl V. zu Österreich, das von ihm schon 1521/22 seinem Bruder Ferdinand I. überlassen wurde, erwies sich, daß der Reichtum des Wiener Museal- und Archivgutes eine würdige und international konkurrenz- fahige Illustration der geschichtlichen Gestalt des Kaisers und seines Zeitalters ermöglichte.

Rough translation:

The four hundredth anniversary of the death of Emperor Charles V, which the Viennese University is celebrating this year, was the occasion of a memorial week, in which Spanish historians will also speak. Notwithstanding the not very close relations between Charles V and Austria, which he had already given to his brother Ferdinand I in 1521/22, the wealth of the Viennese museological and archival material proved worthy and internationally competitive Illustration of the historical form of the Emperor and his age.

Charles V.

Social Mobility, Leadership and Political Change in Jamaica (Separata)

Bell, Wendell, Social Mobility, Leadership and Political Change in Jamaica, Separata from University of California Committee on Political Change, Grant No. 2288 – Penrose Fund, Los Angeles, California, 1963(?).

Excerpt:

This project was a study, extending from 1956 to 1963 of the transition of the Caribbean island of Jamaica from a British colony to an independent nation-state, a political status which Jamaica achieved on August 6, 1962. Although most of the data were the results of a mail questionnaire survey conducted in Jamaica in the spring and summer of 1958, the general conclusions reached were based, additionally, on discussions and interviews with leaders and others in Jamaica at various times during 1956, 1960, 1961, and 1962. The purposes of the study were (1) to explore and discover the causes of nationalism, i.e., to determine those factors which produce nationalist attitudes, that underlie a person’s desire and drive for political independence, and those which in others result conversely in preferences for colonial status and opposition to national movement; (2) to describe the changing social composition and power of different types of elite groups during the transition to nationhood; and (3) to analyze attitudes of Jamaica elites toward the big decisions of nationhood, i.e., toward those actions most significant in shaping the future character of the Jamaican polity, economy, and society.

Cultural Unity and Diversity in New States (Separata)

Moskos, Charles, & Wendell Bell, Cultural Unity and Diversity in New States, Separata from Teachers College Record, vol. 66, no. 8, May, 1965.

Human diversity is a source of human problems. Like most treasures, the great advantages of individual and cultural differences are not had without cost and control. Nowhere is this poignant aspect of the human condition more apparent than in the newly emerging nations, where education is relied upon as a primary tool for achievement of cultural unity. This analysis of the difficulties posed by cultural pluralism was prepared by Dr. Moskos and Dr. Bell during a year at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford, California, and under a grant by the Carnegie Corporation to the Political Change Committee of the University of California, Los Angeles.
